Interview with an Apostate: Cofty (page 2)

I notice we have at least one thing in common and that is that 1995 Watchtower about the generation change being the catalyst for our exit. I think that was a big wake-up call for a lot of people. It may be our generation's 1975!

Thanks for posting your interview. It sounds like you've had quite a ride so far!

Cofty, you're a brave man. Very interesting to see how much you've benefitted the community through sports coaching - as you know this can have a hugely positive impact on those that need some direction. Well done you.

Also interesting to note the through your brave actions your son now has a career in something he would never have been allowed, and I'm sure i've seen photos on another thread somewhere of him receiving a medal of honor?

The legacy of your choice and actions will be enjoyed and benefit many for a long time to come.

Cofty, I was still an elder at the time of the Asian Tsunami. I was on vacation in Hawaii and many family and friends called to make sure I was okay. (I knew nothing of it because it didn't hit Hawaii.) I remember brushing it off like I had other things to worry about, like the next talk assignment.

Not only the tsunami itself disturbed me about "Jehovah" but my own attitude as a JW bothered me about that.

That event has hugely helped me to be free to question things.

I also hugely hate Islam, mostly for its poor treatment of women.

Thanks for posting.

Brilliant interview mate.

I too had a crisis of faith during the tusnami disaster. I can remember feeling utterly dejected as it finally hit home that I had very little/no faith left.

It was also difficult to make the decision to leave. A horrible time in my life.

Being able to think things through freely & come to my own conclusions was/is so lioberating.
